Hi: I'm looking for info on Samuel Torbert and his wife Susannah Addis Torbert, who moved to SC about 1760. Susannah had a child (Richard) by her previous husband, Richard Addis, who died in 1749. This was in Bucks Cty. PA. She later was taken to court by her former brother-in-law on a charge of bastardy. Apparently she had a child by a person unknown, before she married Sam Torbert and moved to SC. I know that her child Richard was taken to SC, but I'm trying to track down the illegitimate child. Thanks Al Addis

Dear Al, I did not know that Susannah had another child. I would be interested in this information also. What do you have so far. I know her brother in law took her to court for the other children of Richard Addis because they wanted the tannery back from her and Torbert's control and when Susannah and Samuel lost, it wasn't long after that they moved to SC. I know you've done some extensive research on the Addis's and I was wondering if you ever heard of a story of 3 Addis brothers. One came home and shot his wife in bed with the sheriff and moved west but not that far from the rest of the family. One of the brothers eventually went north and one stayed in original settlement. I was told this story by a gggreat aunt and have not been able to prove this story with any of the Addis's I have found so far. I don't know how far back this was in the line but my aunt said it was always told as a story to pass down to the next generation but upon researching I have not been able to prove anything about it.

Dear Al, There is one name that I came across on a SC Roster of Revolutionary war soldiers. all that was printed about this is: "Addis, John m. Sarah_________ He was killed in service during 1782. Annuitants Claims." I couldn't find anything else. No number or other info in order to have his papers pulled and read. No one could help me when I sent off for his Military papers, they said I didn't have enough info. Do you know who this Addis was? Could it of been Susannah's ill-child.
